We examined the long-term prognostic value of CT-FFR combined with CCTA–defined atherosclerotic extent in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease(CAD).Methods A retrospective pooled analysis of individual patient data was performed. Deep-learning-based vessel-specific CTFFR was calculated. All patients enrolled were followed-up for at least 5 years. Predictive abilities for major adverse cardiac events(MACE) were compared among three models(model 1), constructed using clinical variables;model 2, model 1+CCTA–derived atherosclerotic extent(Leiden risk score);and model 3, model 2+CT-FFR.Results A total of 480 diabetic patients [median age, 61(55–66) years;52.9% men] were included. During a median follow-up time of 2197(2126–2355) days, 55 patients(11.5%) experienced MACE. In multivariate-adjusted Cox models, Leiden risk score(HR: 1.06;95% CI: 1.01–1.11;P = 0.013) and CT-FFR ≤ 0.80(HR: 6.54;95% CI: 3.18–13.45;P < 0.001) were the independent predictors. The discriminant ability was higher in model 2 than in model 1(C-index, 0.75 vs. 0.63;P < 0.001) and was further promoted by adding CT-FFR to model 3(C-index, 0.81 vs. 0.75;P = 0.002). Net reclassification improvement(NRI) was 0.19(P = 0.009) for model 2 beyond model 1. Of note, adding CT-FFR to model 3 also exhibited significantly improved reclassification compared with model 2(NRI = 0.14;P = 0.011).Conclusion In diabetic patients with CAD, CT-FFR provides robust and incremental prognostic information for predicting longterm outcomes. The combined model exhibits improved prediction abilities, which is beneficial for risk stratification.展开更多

文摘Insight into the carbon turnover in soil aggregates and density fractions is essential for reducing the uncertainty in estimating carbon pools on the Tibetan Plateau,and how they vary with land use type is unclear.In this study,the effect of land use type on carbon storage and fractionation was quantified based on organic carbon and its^(13)C abundance at the microscale of soil aggregates and density fractions in Tibetan alpine ecosystems.The sequence of soil aggregate destruction in the land use types of plantation(13.1%)<shrubland(32.7%)<grassland(47.9%)<farmland(61.8%)shows that plantations strengthen the soil structure.Plantation land had a greater contribution of light fraction organic carbon(28.3%)but a lower contribution of mineral-associated organic carbon(40.6%)to the carbon stock compared to farmland(13.5 and 70.3%).Interestingly,plantation land enhanced the aggregational differentiation of organic carbon and^(13)C in each density fraction,whereas no such phenomenon existed in the soil organic carbon.Carbon isotope analyses revealed that carbon transfer in the plantation land occurred from the light fraction in macroaggregates(–24.9‰)to the mineral-associated fraction in microaggregates(–19.9‰).When compared to the other three land use types,the low transferability of carbon in aggregates and density fractions in plantation land provides a stable carbon pool for the Tibetan Plateau.This study shows that plantations can mitigate global climate change by slowing carbon transfer and increasing carbon storage at the microscale of aggregates and density fractions in alpine regions.
文摘Lassa Fever(LF)is a viral hemorrhagic illness transmitted via rodents and is endemic in West Africa,causing thousands of deaths annually.This study develops a dynamic model of Lassa virus transmission,capturing the progression of the disease through susceptible,exposed,infected,and recovered populations.The focus is on simulating this model using the fractional Caputo derivative,allowing both qualitative and quantitative analyses of boundedness,positivity,and solution uniqueness.Fixed-point theory and Lipschitz conditions are employed to confirm the existence and uniqueness of solutions,while Lyapunov functions establish the global stability of both disease-free and endemic equilibria.The study further examines the role of the Caputo operator by solving the generalized power-law kernel via a two-step Lagrange polynomial method.This approach offers practical advantages in handling additional data points in integral forms,though Newton polynomial-based schemes are generally more accurate and can outperform Lagrange-based Adams-Bashforth methods.Graphical simulations validate the proposed numerical approach for different fractional orders(ν)and illustrate the influence of model parameters on disease dynamics.Results indicate that increasing the fractional order accelerates the decline of Lassa fever in both human and rodent populations.Moreover,fractional-order modeling provides more nuanced insights than traditional integer-order models,suggesting potential improvements for medical intervention strategies.The study demonstrates that carefully chosen fractional orders can optimize convergence and enhance the predictive capacity of Lassa fever models,offering a promising direction for future research in epidemiological modeling.

文摘We investigate the constrained fractional Choquard equation■where m>0,N>2s with s∈(0,1)being the order of the fractional Laplacian operator and I_(α)forα∈(0,N)denotes the Riesz potential.The parameterμ∈ℝappears as a Lagrange multiplier.By imposing general mass-supercritical conditions on F,we confirm the existence of normalized solutions that characterize the global minimizer on the Pohozaev manifold.Our proof does not depend on the assumption that all weak solutions satisfy the Pohozaev identity,a challenge that remains unsolved for this doubly nonlocal equation.

文摘The fractional quantum Hall effect remains a captivating area in condensed matter physics,characterized by strongly correlated topological order,which manifests as fractionalized excitations and anyonic statistics.Numerical simulations,such as exact diagonalization,density matrix renormalization groups,matrix product states,and Monte Carlo methods are essential for examining the properties of strongly correlated systems.Recently,density functional theory has been employed in this field within the framework of composite fermion theory.This paper systematically evaluates how density functional theory approaches have addressed fundamental challenges in fractional quantum Hall systems,including ground state and low-energy excitations.Special attention is given to the insights provided by density functional theory regarding composite fermion behavior,edge effects,and the nature of fractional charge and magnetoroton excitations.The discussion critically examines both the advantages and limitations of these approaches,while highlighting the productive interplay between numerical simulations and theoretical models.Future directions are explored,particularly the promising potential of time-dependent density functional theory for modeling non-equilibrium dynamics in quantum Hall systems.

文摘SiCp-reinforced 6092Al composites with volume fractions of 25%and 60%were prepared using a powder metallurgy method.Their friction and wear characteristics were analyzed using a reciprocating friction and wear testing machine under loads of 20 to 50 N against YG6 cemented carbide.The experimental results show that the friction coefficients of all samples increase with increasing load.The 25vol%composite exhibits the lowest friction coefficient(0.1669-0.2716),while the 60vol%composite exhibits the highest(0.3237-0.3990),with the 6092 aluminum alloy falling between the two.The wear volume and specific wear rate also increase with load,but the composites with a higher Si C content demonstrate smaller increments,with the 60vol%composite exhibiting superior wear resistance.Under a 30 N load,the wear scars of the 60vol%composite show a significant increase in the contents of elements such as C,Co,W,and O,indicating more severe wear of the counterpart material.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)reveals wear mechanisms including adhesive wear,two-body sliding and three-body rolling wear of particles,and delamination.
文摘Grifola frondosa(Maitake)is traditionally valued for its health benefits,with polysaccharides being key bioactive components.This paper investigates a specific subfraction,Fraction D(GFP-D),evaluating its clinical effects and mechanisms in immune enhancement,adjunctive anti-tumor activity,and regulation of glucose/lipid metabolism.Three clinical trials were conducted.In an immune study,120 healthy volunteers(CD4+T cell count 500–1000 cells/μL)received 150 mg/day GFP-D for 8 weeks,resulting in significant increases in CD4+T cells(from 632±95 to 812±108 cells/μL,28.5%increase,within the physiological activation range),CD4+/CD8+ratio,NK cell activity,IL-2,and IFN-γ(all P<0.001 vs.placebo).An anti-tumor study with 80 advanced cancer patients(stratified by age,tumor stage,and histotype)showed that adding 1000 mg/day GFP-D to chemotherapy improved objective response rate(52.5%vs.30.0%,P=0.036,95%CI:1.02–3.87),one-year progression-free survival(55.8%vs.33.3%,P=0.022),and preserved immune parameters versus chemotherapy alone.A metabolic study in 90 type 2 diabetes patients found that 400 mg/day GFP-D for 12 weeks significantly lowered fasting glucose,HbA1c,total cholesterol,triglycerides,and LDL-C,while raising HDL-C(from 1.0±0.2 to 1.2±0.2 mmol/L,20%increase,supported by increased AMPK phosphorylation).Mechanistically,immune enhancement involves macrophage/dendritic cell activation via Dectin-1/TLR4 receptors(confirmed by increased receptor expression and downstream signaling molecules),promoting cytokine-driven T/NK cell responses.Anti-tumor effects stem from immunomodulation,direct induction of cancer cell apoptosis(via mitochondrial/caspase pathways,verified by increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and caspase-3 activation),and angiogenesis inhibition by downregulating VEGF.Metabolic benefits are linked to AMPK pathway activation in liver/muscle(confirmed by increased p-AMPK/AMPK ratio),enhancing glucose uptake and inhibiting gluconeogenesis/lipogenesis,alongside modulation of gut microbiota(increased Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus abundance).All trials reported no severe adverse events related to GFP-D;liver/kidney function parameters(ALT,AST,creatinine,urea nitrogen)remained within normal ranges throughout the intervention.Collectively,GFP-D emerges as a multi-functional bioactive agent with substantial therapeutic potential.

文摘In this paper,we first give a sufficient condition for a graph being fractional ID-[a,b]-factor-critical covered in terms of its independence number and minimum degree,which partially answers the problem posed by Sizhong Zhou,Hongxia Liu and Yang Xu(2022).Then,an A_(α)-spectral condition is given to ensure that G is a fractional ID-[a,b]-factor-critical covered graph and an(a,b,k)-factor-critical graph,respectively.In fact,(a,b,k)-factor-critical graph is a graph which has an[a,b]-factor for k=0.Thus,these above results extend the results of Jia Wei and Shenggui Zhang(2023)and Ao Fan,Ruifang Liu and Guoyan Ao(2023)in some sense.

文摘Fractional discrete systems can enable the modeling and control of the complicated processes more adaptable through the concept of versatility by providing systemdynamics’descriptions withmore degrees of freedom.Numerical approaches have become necessary and sufficient to be addressed and employed for benefiting from the adaptability of such systems for varied applications.A variety of fractional Layla and Majnun model(LMM)system kinds has been proposed in the current work where some of these systems’key behaviors are addressed.In addition,the necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability and asymptotic stability of the fractional dynamic systems are investigated,as a result of which,the necessary requirements of the LMM to achieve constant and asymptotically steady zero resolutions are provided.As a special case,when Layla and Majnun have equal feelings,we propose an analysis of the system in view of its equilibrium and fixed point sets.Considering that the system has marginal stability if its eigenvalues have both negative and zero real portions,it is demonstrated that the system neither converges nor diverges to a steady trajectory or equilibrium point.It,rather,continues to hover along the line separating stability and instability based on the fractional LMM system.
文摘Fractional differential equations have garnered significant attention within the mathematical and physical sciences due to the diverse range of fractional operators available.Fractional calculus has demonstrated its utility across various disciplines,including biological modeling[1–5],applications in physics[6,7],most notably in the formulation of fractional diffusion equations,in robotics,and emerging areas such as intelligent artificial systems,among others.Numerous types of fractional operators exist,including those characterized by singular kernels,such as the Caputo and Riemann-Liouville derivatives[8,9].It is important to highlight that the Riemann-Liouville derivative exhibits certain limitations;most notably,the derivative of a constant is not zero,which poses a significant inconvenience.To circumvent this issue,the Caputo derivative was introduced.Additionally,there are fractional derivatives with non-singular kernels,such as the Caputo-Fabrizio derivative[10]and the Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative[11],each providing unique advantages for modeling purposes.Given the growing interest in utilizing fractional operators for various modeling scenarios,it is imperative to propose robust methodologies for obtaining both approximate and exact solutions.Consequently,this special issue emphasizes the exploration of diverse numerical schemes aimed at deriving approximate solutions for the models under consideration.Furthermore,analytical methods have also been discussed,providing additional avenues for obtaining exact solutions.
文摘This article studies the existence and uniqueness of the mild solution of a family of control systems with a delay that are governed by the nonlinear fractional evolution differential equations in Banach spaces.Moreover,we establish the controllability of the considered system.To do so,first,we investigate the approximate controllability of the corresponding linear system.Subsequently,we prove the nonlinear system is approximately controllable if the corresponding linear system is approximately controllable.To reach the conclusions,the theory of resolvent operators,the Banach contraction mapping principle,and fixed point theorems are used.While concluding,some examples are given to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed results.
